Herbs: A Place to Begin... Jelly

Being part of our county's Master Gardener Speakers Guild is a lot of fun. My program is titled "Herbs: A Place to Begin". It is for anyone who might be curious about growing herbs or is just beginning to use them. I give simple advice for ways to incorporate tasty herbs into your every day life. After such a sweet reception to my presentation, I will be adding regular posts about herbs.

Watch for the ones titled "A Place to Begin".

So, the last couple of posts have been about ways to use Herbal Tea. Have you considered making jelly with it?

You may have noticed jelly recipes that call for fruit juice. Well, that juice could be replaced with or combined with a strong herbal tea!

If you would like to use my recipe for Sweet Mint Jelly click HERE. It's a combination of lime and spearmint. A favorite around here! If you are interested in my recipe for Savory Mint Jelly click THERE. We use it on smoked meats.

The options for combining herbs and fruit is absolutely endless. I'd love to hear about any flavors you enjoy together!

Please come back each week for more simple ideas to add herbs into your everyday life. I hope this post gives you a place to begin!

I had no idea you could even do that!!!! Yet another reason I need to start an herb garden! Oh, just wanted to let you know I shared this post via twitter since you are our TOP commentator right now at Truly Lovely! If you remain on top I'll share a little something from your blog once a week, just to say thanks for being awesome! ;) https://twitter.com/kassarie/status/372791226518347776

I will definitely be checking out your herb recipes. I have a small herb garden and love to incorporate them in our meals. I made a glass of basal and blueberry lemonade the other day that was superb! I enjoyed stopping by from AWB Sunday link-up! :)
